School is back in session and we finally had a chance to get away for the day in Helen, Georgia. We went with Austin's soccer coach and family and we all had a ball. We met early last Saturday morning and headed north on 400. We did not eat breakfast prior to leaving home, but we thought we would stop and grab a bite at some point. The road seemed long but we finally discovered a hole in the wall that fit the bill, the best breakfast available and the little lady inside was a hoot:)
After breakfast we finished our journey to the waterpark just in time as they were opening. The lazy river surrounded the park and there were 4 waterslides. After we did our fill at the waterpark it was tubing time....a bit of advice for anyone going on this adventure: bring a waterproof camera and a stick to help "unstick" your tubes in case the water level is low...LOL:) We enjoyed our hour and a half trip down the Chattahoochee. Along the way we saw a bear cub in a tree, a bubble gum tree, a tree filled with lost "soles" (abandoned flip flops), and alot of interesting people. We ended the day with dinner at the magic burger place (a stomach adventure in itself) and a walk through historic Helen visting several shops. All in all a great trip, but next time we go we will definitely use sticks when we go tubing, bring money for a better dinner, and play miniature golf!
